Adjust the aperture diaphragm.
Press the DIA aperture diaphragm button to adjust the
aperture. The aperture should be adjusted to about 70 to
80% of the numerical aperture of the objective. (See
Chapter 3 “8 Adjusting the Aperture Diaphragm”.)
Appropriate size of the aperture
diaphragm
Normally, the appropriate size of the aperture
diaphragm is 70 to 80% of the numerical aperture of
the objective. Since an excessively small aperture
diaphragm opening will degrade the image
resolution, Nikon does not recommend setting the
aperture diaphragm to less than 60% of the
numerical aperture of the objective.
Adjustment timing for the aperture
diaphragm
Be sure to adjust the aperture diaphragm each time
you change the objective.
